Guckst du hier: https://games-island.eu/de/kartenboxen_36/ I'm not affiliated with this shop, but have ordered from them before, and service has always been outstanding.
A bunch of the Pathfinder Adventure Path characters are available from Reaper. They're excellent, extremely detailled casts, I really like them: https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Pathfinder
I do get the point about the spoilers. Then again knowing your enemy is kind of important when building your party up to be able to defeat it. There is also no rule that prohibits you from carefully studying villains and henchman beforehand, so for me it's ok to spoiler them here. Also ordered the cards - looking forward to those as well as adventure deck six.
... it's not usual for her to heal and explore on the same turn. You likely wanted to say "it's not unusual for her". And I agree, a healer will have access to more blessings and can play these for an exploration. Healing is a powerful ability and there are also quite a few boons that allow for it. My favorite are cards with drip healing.
PS: Just proxy the missing card with another henchman.
I don't have my set here, but I do remember thinking the same thing when playing that scenario.
I played Yoon and Ezren to the end of adventure 3 today. Here's the game state: Trader: Auction House, Smiths of Wati, Hadden Hoppert, Falsin Deek, Ghoul Market, Sunburst Market, Shardizhad, Udjebet, Agymah Character Name: Yoon
Character Name: Ezren
Has this been resolved by now? I.e. may Mavaro recharge any cards he likes before resetting his hand?
Sorry, did not record at the end of adventure 3. Here are Damiel and Zadim at the end of adventure 4, if that is any help: Character Name: Damiel
Character Name: Zadim
When will we see a thread for September? Yes, I'm wondering as well.
Don't get this if you want to run it online. The maps don't copy well and you can forget placing grids. It's very oldschool in a low quality production kind of way. I wanted to run it in combination with Tsar, but decided against it, as we played on roll20.
It's a good solo game, thanks.
UPDATE: Welp, that was enjoyable while it lasted. I've now changed all of the April Fool's product names back to normal. Hope some folks got a chuckle or two out of our goofy post! Have a good weekend, everybody! :D We did! It was funny! Thanks!
I'm playing the Zeitgeist adventure path with my players, and will provide a write up of each session on my blog. I'll post an update here, when adding a new post. You may follow all campaign posts on this page. We've played three sessions so far: Session #1
Beware, spoilers lurk.
I'm playing this with my group. You may follow the campaign here. Beware, spoilers lurk.
Yeah, but no response re unchained rogue, so...
Sounds good. Will this be about the Unchained Rogue?
These are good tips - many thanks. My basic idea was to establish food as a power source in the Deeps, a resource to be warred over. And it should entail a minimum of bookkeeping on the players behalf, just so much that they understand. But I can tell that it will influence the game in an interesting way with all this magic that cannot be used freely. There will be a lot of exceptions and arbitrary rulings. I like that. Good idea about the rot, it is very damp down there, so destroying a supply is a good option to generate pressure or a story hook for the party.
You will need to ban full-caster, or seaching for food and water will be meaningless with teleport and all other kind of bypass spells. True, teleport should be banned as well. What other bypass spells are there?
... in any place with animals, any evocation spell is basically create food. It'll be desert first and underdark later, so they'll be able to eat only the encounters. Similarly with plants. Neutralize poison might make some obstacles too easy to overcome as well, if you're planning on having plants around but not be edible. Or, put them on another plane where the natives don't eat or drink. Hmm, good point. In the desert there will be one oasis for replenishment, in the underdark however... Maybe i'll add a plant trait to the moss and fungi called "indigestible". This way places where digestible moss and fungi grow will be like an oasis as well.
I'd like to play a high-level survival horror adventure in which food and water are important resources. To this end I would like to ban all magic that creates food or water. Banning "Rings of Sustenance" and spells like "Create Food and Water" are obvious. What else should I think about to make the characters depend on food? Thanks!
An idea would be to redesign the hag coven and give an occult character a hook there.
All 13 adventures will eventually be available as PDF. Ten of them are out by now. You can also get them as two hardcovers, but only one has been published so far. I have the deluxe hardcover and it is a beautiful tome. I'm running this for a group of four and we're having a fantastic time. It is however not that easy to run due to the complexity of the various plotlines across a great many NPCs. Taking a lot of notes helps me to keep track. The one supplement I can thoroughly recommend are the NPC face cards to help the players remember. Zeitgeist is a work of art. I love it!
Many thanks - I missed the SR bit.
My players use Protection from Evil to ward of summoned devils. What would be a good tactic against that?
The "Player Companion: Monster Summoner's Handbook" was already shipped in June, no?
1 of your minis was holding things up. I've moved it to the sidecart and will get the rest shipped as soon as possible.No, unfortunately it does not. I've been trying for a week now, still no shipping notice but my fingers hurt now. Ah, the agony! Aw, thanks Sara!
No, unfortunately it does not. I've been trying for a week now, still no shipping notice but my fingers hurt now. Ah, the agony!
My group started the run on Delvehaven today, here is what happened just before The drama of Khazrae Kuelata: The players remembered the story of Khazrae and sought her help. I took the liberty to model Erinye as a fallen angel that had turned to evil. They wanted to offer the devil her sanity in return for advice on navigating the pathfinder lodge, using the heal scroll they found earlier. The paladin, of course, argued against it, but was overruled. The players first used the wand of restoration to be able to negotiate matters with the erinye, and she agreed. The priest took out the heal scroll and started chanting, as suddenly the spirit of his god entered him and amplified his casting. He has been a devout cleric of Cayden Cailean for the entire adventure, roleplaying his character really well and even going so far as to found an orphanage, his god decided he could use some help. Thus Khazrae Kuelata, the fallen angel, returned to the side of light. The party now has an Angel on their sides for the next thirty days. I hope to be able to spin the story of Khazrae a bit further over the remaining three adventures. We'll see.
Thanks for the heads-up re shipping. I have to say that this time, because of WOTR, I can hardly wait. Really looking forward to a bunch of new cards :-)
I was missing my order, but wrote an email and it arrived a couple of hours later - on a saturday no less. Thanks a bunch - Paizo service is legendary.
How can you be in total cover/concealment and still being observed? By definition, total cover grants you invisibility, no?
Thanks :-)
Or be a 16th level Alchemist with a Summoner friend and get it nearly for free. ;) I don't understand. Would you spell it out for me?
It is still Pending. Why is this taking so long? - Dale From what I gather, management decided on a huge blow out sale in october and forgot to hire sufficient staff in advance, to process orders. Hence the customer service doing overtime. It will take a while, I suppose.
What Crystal said. Am I worried that characters will become one-note parodies? Always. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be included. So far, they've been handled incredibly well. Anevia is one of my favorite new characters, and I find her entire backstory, regardless of the gender aspect, to be well-done and interesting. Is being reduced to parodies a worry? Of course. But Paizo seems capable enough of handling things, and portraying interesting, multifaceted characters that don't fall back on tired stereotypes.
Except that, thus far, I think they've covered the various spectrum of individuals, whether hetero or gay or something else. Paizo's been pretty good about that sort of thing, for the most part. I trust them to do a good job. And, I'll fight tooth and nail to keep seeing people like me reflected in Paizo's setting material. You don't want to depict a trans* person in your game? Don't use them! Fine, but understand that there are people that would like to see people like them in a game. That's all it really boils down to. Telling Paizo that you don't want to see people like me (a lesbian Trans woman, I might point out) reflected in a game that I also play, tells me that you really don't see people like me as worthy of inclusion. And yes, that's offensive to me. Do what you want in your home game, but let us have our heroes and representation too. Please.
I...I absolutely love this O_o Also, I can totally confirm that the character Miranda from my recent story in Wayfinder is a TOTAL firefly :)
The only reason name-calling and incivility was resorted to was not because of disagreement, but because of the borderline offensive stuff that 3.5 Loyalist came out of the gate with. If you notice, we started off trying to be pretty darn rational, but none of it sank in. And, he followed that up with stuff that was not only offensive to me and just about everyone else I know that's reading and posting in this, but disrespectful to me, personally. So...I'm not surprised DrowVampyre went off like she did. It's not exactly helping anybody, but I can't fault her for it. Like I said before, if he'd come out of the gate asking questions respectfully without stuff he started out with? Then yes. I would likely have answered the questions to the best of my ability. I'm honestly happy to enlighten people on what things are like for people like me, but you need to remember to be respectful when doing the asking or you're not going to get a positive reaction. Now, I will say this, in regards to something you asked earlier that Cori covered partially. As far as state-based stuff goes, yes, it can be a lot of hoops to jump through. As far as I know, most states do require you to have had the reassignment surgery before you can change your gender designation. Luckily, I happen to live in Washington, where that's not the case. It still took some hoop-jumping, but my ID now correctly reflects my gender. A harder thing is birth certificates, at least for those of us born in states that do require the surgery first. I can change my name on it (and fully intend to), but I'm sorta out of luck if I want to get a passport...at least until I get SRS. Damn Virginia laws...
You know, I'm kinda getting tired of you just using my surname. At the very least, I find it disrespectful. Alex, Alexandra, Allie, Lex, Ms. Pitchford, whatever. But just calling me 'Pitchford' makes it seem like you're trying to jab at me. But, that's hardly the point here. The point is, we've pointed out how wrong-headed and offensive what you've said is. We've tried to explain, rationally, why you're mistaken in your view of what transpeople are. It's not something so simple that it can be boiled down and shoved into the boxes you seem to want to put it in. And you don't get it, fine. Believe me, I've been very open about my experiences so far, both online and in real life. If you'd just asked those sorts of questions right off the bat? Maybe I would have answered them. But when it's included among some of what you keep saying...that I, and people like me, are somehow deceiving you, defrauding you, or trying to "sell you something" by just trying to be who we know we are inside. Well, that's what gets me. That's what pisses me off. You want discourse? Try not being a jackass, and then we'll talk. And you know what? No, you don't get to call me Allie. Only my girlfriend gets to call me that.
Might be best just to let this one slide now eh guys? Before people get too heated?I'm sorry, but somebody telling me that I'm trying to bs them about who I am because I don't want to live a personal lie? I'm going to respond to that. I tried too, believe me. It's hard to stomach that sort of ignorant, asinine, pseudo-intellectual BS. But at this point I'm just tired of beating my head against a wall. Plus, I knew if I kept trying I was going to start saying things that were decidedly unladylike. I'd rather keep a civil tone...hard as that might be to do -_- Like I said before...it was who I was before that was the lie, plain and simple. If someone doesn't want to accept that, well...they're wrong, and that's their damn problem, not mine.
All of which are things I think are silly and shouldn't be done either. Again, I understand not being happy with yourself, but perhaps it's ones self perception that needs to be changed, rather than the exterior.You know that changing self perception is actually impossible in most of these cases and if forced, causes severe psychological damage? This, exactly. A transgendered person pretending they're not (and it would be pretending) is as psychologically damaging as a gay person convincing themselves (or being forced to be convinced. Let's not start on that 'pray away the gay' bullshit) that they're straight. Nothing good comes of it, and that person just ends up miserable.
Except that's a very uninformed, and highly disrespectful way of viewing it. If someone identifies to you as a woman, then leave it at that. Don't pry, don't ask, just accept what they say and move on, plain and simple. Otherwise, you just come off as a jackass. Believe me, it's not easy struggling with who you know you are on the inside, and what you were born as. Trying to reconcile those isn't easy, and when you've come as far as some transwomen have then having someone look at you like that and blatantly call everything you are bull, well...that can be one of the most traumatic and hurtful things that can happen. So just...be open-minded, be accepting. They're not trying to deceive you, because to them that's what they are. It's who they were before that was the deceit, as far as they're concerned. A mask or a costume they put on because they had to. I get not approving, and I get not understanding...but at least try to be nice...
Yeah, as a transgendered woman myself, the pronoun is definitely "Her". Like they explain in the video, the right pronoun is whatever they consider themselves. :) |
